A member asked:

Can i skip my period and keep taking bc? first week of college and last time on period i had the runs/stomach cramps. any side effects of doing this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually ok: A woman who takes BC pills that are the same strength for 3 weeks, and skips the placebo pills, but starts a new pack of the same pills, taking them for 3 weeks, and finally has her withdrawal period on week 7, usually has no problems doing this occasionally. If she hasn't done this before, she won't know whether or not she will have some spotting or other minor symptoms, until she tries this.
